Philly/South Jersey Firms

trader08322 · May 25, 2004

Are there any South Jersey/Philly prop firms? I am in the South Jersey area looking to hook up with a prop firm in the area. Being offered a few positions in NYC; however, I would like to stay in theis arae for various reasons and the commute to NYC is 2.5 hrs each way. I have extensive experience in the equity markets - 8 years on the POhilly floor and 5 years on a trading desk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A train from the 30th Street Station to Penn Station is about an hour and a half each way. Hundreds of people make that commute daily. How bad do you want to join a prop firm?
